First one, if I only upload the xbst to a thread when releasing a script, will it automatically unpack and lua's that were attached to it when I originally saved the file?

Second one, I'm almost out of space for uploads, is there a website that I can use to upload the scripts that doesn't remove them after a set period of time (unless it's longer then maybe 12 months, that I can live with) and also is fine to post on the forums?

Thanks for all replies.

If you saved the xbst while the lua was running, it'll unpack yes
Dropbox is a good option, maybe mediafire too

We used Dropbox for quite a while, its faster than MediaFire but I've seen two cases this year already where Dropbox, as a whole, was temporarily shutdown for a few days due to security reasons. For these kinds of small files, speed doesn't matter anyways (only talking a difference between a few seconds and a minute).

We use MediaFire nowadays since Syntax is one of their developers. I haven't seen them ever temporarily shutdown & they're cheap as fuck at $2.49/mo for 1TB of storage.

I've tried pretty much every cloud service available from Box, Dropbox, MediaFire, Google Drive, SpiderOak, Microsoft OneDrive, FireDrive, etc. Dropbox is downright the fastest of them all, MediaFire seems the most stable, FireDrive just recently shutdown it seems (pretty pissed about this) & Google Drive has syncing issues.

Thanks mate, that's mighty useful. I'll check out MediaFire.
